CLIMATE PROOF YOUR PORTFOLIO

RE Royalties Ltd. is a specialty finance company that creates stable long-term cash flow streams by utilizing a royalty financing model to provide loans to, and acquire revenue-based royalties from, renewable and clean energy projects and companies globally. Our mission is to provide innovative financing for climate change solutions.

Our business model focuses on providing innovative financing solutions to small-to-medium sized privately and publicly held renewable energy companies (“SMRE”), a market segment that is currently under-served by the traditional debt and equity markets. While the market for renewables is very large (over $2.2 trillion invested in the last decade) and continues to grow exponentially, the SMRE market lacks access to suitable financing options.

We make it easier for our clients, who are emerging sustainability leaders, to grow their businesses by providing innovative, flexible and tailored financing solutions. This allows our clients to maintain control and ownership over their projects and businesses. We build long-term relationships with our clients and we work with them with the goal of building value for their stakeholders and strong returns for our investors.

OUR GREEN PRODUCTS

Our financing products consist of a combination of short-term secured debt and/or long-term gross revenue royalties. The Company’s business objective is to acquire a portfolio of stable, long-term and diversified cash flow streams from renewable energy generation facilities and to provide our investors with a strong risk-adjusted return, stable distribution and growth. We currently own a portfolio of 86 royalties from solar, wind and run-of-river projects in Canada, the United States and the European Union.

RE Royalties’ Green Bonds invest in growing the clean energy sector while offering investors a fixed 6% annual return. The minimum investment is $5,000 and our Green Bonds are eligible for registered accounts such as RRSP, TFSA, RRIF and RESP.
